    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.
    • Monika the first four pages of the Private parking section have at least 12 of our members who have also been caught out on this scam site. That's around one quarter of all our current complaints. Usually we might expect two current complaints for the same park within 4 pages.  So you are in good company and have done well in appealing to McDonalds in an effort to resolve the matter without having  paid such a bunch of rogues. Most people blindly pay up. Met . Starbucks and McDonalds  are well aware of the situation and seem unwilling to make it easier for motorists to avoid getting caught. For instance, instead of photographing you, if they were honest and wanted you  to continue using their services again, they would have said "Excuse me but if you are going to go to Mc donalds from here, it will cost you £100." But no they kett quiet and are now pursuing you for probably a lot more than £100 now. They also know thst  they cannot charge anything over the amount stated on the car park signs. Their claims for £160 or £170 are unlawful yet so many pay that to avoid going to Court. When the truth is that Met are unlikely to take them to Court since they know they will lose. The PCNs are issued on airport land which is covered by Byelaws so only the driver can be pursued, not the keeper. But they keep writing to you as they do not know who was driving unless you gave it away when you appealed. Even if they know you were driving they should still lose in Court for several reasons. The reason we ask you to fill out our questionnaire is to help you if MET do decide to take you to Court in the end. Each member who visited the park may well have different experiences while there which can help when filling out a Witness statement [we will help you with that if it comes to it.] if you have thrown away the original PCN  and other paperwork you obviously haven't got a jerbil or a guinea pig as their paper makes great litter boxes for them.🙂 You can send an SAR to them to get all the information Met have on you to date. Though if you have been to several sites already, you may have done that by now. In the meantime, you will be being bombarded by illiterate debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors all threatening you with ever increasing amounts as well as being hung drawn and quartered. Their letters can all be safely ignored. On the odd chance that you may get a Letter of Claim from them just come back to us and we will get you to send a snotty letter back to them so that they know you are not happy, don't care a fig for their threats and will see them off in Court if they finally have the guts to carry on. If you do have the original PCN could you please post it up, carefully removing your name. address and car registration number but including dates and times. If not just click on the SAR to take you to the form to send to Met.

    • Hello CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi guys,

 

new here and after some advice on a rather messy situation if possible.....

 

Around 2011/2012, i was discharged from an IVA id been paying into as i lost my job at the time,

was out of work for a lengthy period, and had no way of covering the amounts set.

 

The IVA company handling my account told me the creditors would "probably" start contacting me again in pursuit of the monies outstanding.

Some did, some didn't.

 

After a period of around 6 months, i was offered settlement on a couple of these, which I accepted.

As i wasn't being pursued by the others, i assumed the matters were closed. Naively.

 

Roll on to 2 weeks ago when I received a letter from Drydens, this was a phishing letter as they wanted to know if i lived at my new address, of which ive been at 8 months. No mention of debt, just an "is this you" letter. i ignored it.

 

Today ive received another letter from them, addressed to me and detailing the debt of approx £1200 to a company I've never heard of.

I believe this company to be a Luxembourg company that buys debts.

But to me, it could be anyone, and none of the original creditors I owed.

 

After 5.5 years, to be honest, I have no idea who i paid off, who's was left chasing, and who gave up.

This amount is on my credit file, but again, i have no recollection of the company Drysdens are claiming i owe this money to.

 

Also, it looks like this debt will become SB'd in December of this year, Dec 2017.

There are 3 entries, of which this is one, on my CF that are "closed", whatever that means.

 

where do i go from here?

Do i just ignore Drydens,

do i ask who this is they claim i owe money to?

Do i try and ride it out to SB'd?

 

Any advice appreciated.

its not a good idea to move and not infor the creditors listed on your credit file

you leave yourself wide open to backdoor CCJ served to your old addresses.

 

 

whos drydens client.

Dx, hi

 

I get what you're saying, but to be honest, after 4 odd years of not hearing from anyone, no statement of accounts, no chasing letters, it just didn't seem an issue anymore.

 

As i said, possibly naively, Id assumed the remaining ones had "given up" chasing the amounts.

checking my credit file when i moved wasn't even on my radar.

 

Until today, i haven't checked my CF since around 2012.

And i would have assumed, if someone was going down the CCJ route,

it would have been served by now and on my CF?

Of which there isnt any...

 

Are you saying i should inform the remaining ones of my new address,

when I haven't heard anything from them in over 5+ years whilst at that previous address?

 

The client Drysden are representing are PCO Holdco SARL.

PCO Holdco SARL are a bunch of low life fleecers

 

debt buyer will hold off issuing claimforms until just before the 6yrs mark

that way they can charge 6yrs of stat 8% interest

 

inform your creditors asap

Thanks again DX,

 

Ok, they are fleecers, but Im still not aware of who they are or what debt, if any was sold onto them, and from whom.

How do i clarify this, and determine if its enforceable by them or Drydens?

 

And reading your reply, it insinuates that these companies "deliberately" hold off until near SB'd in order to then apply interest on the last 6 years, is that correct?

 

Is that even allowed without some prior communication? I'm no expert, but a quick google shows that this legislation (1998 i believe) applies only to commercial defaults and not applicable to Consumer Credit issues?

 

Getting away from my original post.

How do i deal with Drydens letters now?

As I'm not aware of who SARL are and cant recall the amount requested and to whom, if any, this was originally owed too.

 

Do i ignore until if/when they start threats, or approach them to determine who SARL is and prove this is my debt?

If it is legitimate, do you think they'd offer reduced settlement, or would just go straight for the CCJ with charges anyway?

 

As i said previously, they are 3 creditors left on my file with outstanding money, that NONE have communicated with me in over 5 years.

Again, possibly naively, I thought these may have been "written off" as I've not heard anything.

 

But, by what you are saying, you think they are all going to proceed with CCJ claims now at this point, 6 months from SB'd, in order to charge the extra interest?

 

To be honest, if that's the case, informing the other two is the least of my worries, as Ill have to declare my self bankrupt, as I'm in no position to pay anything towards these at the moment..being self employed and currently looking for further work.

you need to get reading up here

 

there must be some indication on the letter

why not scan it up here click upload pdf please.

 

your credit file should tell you the type of debt each is and the owners now.

 

they can hold off and ofcourse all comms have gone to old addresses.

you've a phishing letter.

you need to respond to it and to all the others that you've never written too with a change of address.

 

but we need to know debt types first

not every type of debt is covered by a CCa request.

3 files on My CF in addition to this one;

 

santander Overdraft / unsecured loan (cant remember)

Store Card

Credit Card

 

Not had any comms from any of the above since the IVA.

 

Worth noting, the IVA discharged in 2012.

 

I remained at the same address for another 4 years.

 

In that time I received no correspondence regarding any of these debts that remained.

 

Also attached the images of the 2 letters.

 

Thanks again.

Thanks DX,

 

Yep, as i said previously. The original IVA ended in 2012. I remained at that same address for another 4 years with NO contact from anyone, and recently moved 8 months ago to my new address. This letter turned up 2 weeks ago.

 

I think Ill wait on the next one and send the prove it letter as you suggest.

I'm flabergasted, no surprised, no...............giggling, yes that's what I am, I'm giggling at their use of those hilarious phishing letters, they are Sooooooo 80's!

 

I didn't even believe they still used those playground missives, ''please tell us where our client maybe''? Are they seriously still that stoopid??

 

Worthy of a complaint to the FCA, if this is their ''World leading trace system'' then we're going backwards...

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!
